While picking up the cakes, tap the requested frosting colors and Jill will move from oven to frosting station and back again. Players can input a series of commands without having to physically wait for each step. The entire game is one big balancing act, so you must chart out the most effective work pattern to maximize your cash influx during store hours.

Using the stylus, you click on the different parts of Jill's kitchens to assign her workload. And to really turn up the juice, the entire counter is teeming with customers that are big on cash, but short on patience. Before you know it, you have three ovens working overtime, a variety of frosting stations, a display platter for holding cakes while you attend to other business and a slew of potential decorations. "Cake Mania" encapsulates the entire philosophy of casual gaming: Hook the gamer with a simple mechanic and then turn up the heat like you're boiling a lobster. Hand the cake over and take the money from the counter. Jill must then bake the right-shaped cake, slather some colored frosting on top of it and lavish it with a special decoration. Customers come into the shop, look at a menu, and then place an order. The action of "Cake Mania" is pretty straightforward.
